The growing popularity of people becoming vegans has inspired popular chain restaurant Wagamama to produce its first vegan menu.

Its chefs claim it will 'knock your socks off', and as well as creating new dishes have gone as far as highlighting the beers, wines, and even cocktails which are safe for vegans. It doesn’t even contain orange juice.

“Shellac, which comes from beetles, is used to preserve oranges,” said Greg Hrechanyk, general manager at Wagamama’s Royal William Yard eatery. “So the main menu has orange juice, but it’s not vegan friendly so we took it off the new vegan menu.

“And our bang bang cauliflower has a firecracker sauce with orange in it, so that’s on the vegetarian menu, not the vegan one.

“This has been a massive learning opportunity for us as a team. We got right into this.”
